The Converse Aero Jam was famous for two things: Larry Johnson’s Grandmama persona and REACT Juice. A series of great ads and a cameo on Family Matters saw the 6’7 nana dunking on everyone in the REACT fueled sneaker. REACT Juice claimed to automatically move, aka react, to the area of your foot where it was most needed when jumping and cutting.
